Hi I am trying to get a working version of Java, but Firefox keeps blocking.

I am trying to view Web sites that use Java, but Firefox keeps blocking. I go in addons and try to authorize but everything is gray and will not let me. Is there a way to use the latest Java and udate or should I go with another browser now?

If you are satisfied with this 'solution', that's fine, but if the current version of Java does not have to appear on the page modules, there may be several reasons for this.

(1) you may need to install the 32-bit version for Firefox. He cannot use the 64-bit version. Oracle has more information on this in their technical support article: which Java download should I choose for my system to Windows 64-bit operating?

(2) the installation program may have failed. You can check the physical presence of the plugin DLL here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_60\bin\plugin2\npjp2.dll

If this folder/file does not exist, the installation failed. Please try the installation again.

(3) Firefox cannot be scans the registry for plugins. Firefox detects most of the plugins in a registry entry. Some users have scanning disabled for some reason any. Here's how check and fix this:

(A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(B) in the search above the list box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(C) If plugin.scan.plid.all is not set to its default value true, double-click it to activate it by default.

If you have changed this setting, close and restart Firefox to start another analysis.

If you see the Add-ons page, section Plugins yet, can you find the current Java plugin it and allow it?

(4) registry file to the Firefox plugin may be damaged. You can remove it and Firefox plugins re-scan.

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • Menu help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste Subject: support in the address bar and press enter

In the first table of the page, click on the "view file" button to launch a new window of Windows Explorer showing your settings files.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • File menu > exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename pluginreg.dat to something like pluginreg.old

Launch Firefox back up again. (If you want to restore your previous session non-private use history > restore previous Session.)

When you return to the Add ons page, is the current Java plugin finally on the list?
